Because he shall make a separation between brothers: s the Lord will bring a burning wind that shall rise from the desert, and it shall dry up his springs, and shall make his fountain desolate, and he shall carry off the treasure of every desirable vessel.
Thus saith the Lord: Behold, I will raise up as it were a pestilential wind against Babylon and against the inhabitants thereof who have lifted up their heart against me.

O Lord, the hope of Israel: all that forsake thee shall be confounded: they that depart from thee shall be written in the earth: because they have forsaken the Lord, the vein of living waters.
According to my desire I will chastise them: and the nations shall be gathered together against them, when they shall be chastised for their two iniquities.
